Introduction

The concluding chapter to this short prophetic book describes the downfall of Nineveh. News of the city’s demise is met with joy by those who had been oppressed.

Scripture Reading 

Nahum 3:1-19

Today’s Key Verse: Nahum 3:7b

‘Nineveh lies in ruins! Who has any sympathy for her? Who will want to comfort her?’

Reflect

What images are included in today’s reading to describe Nineveh’s demise? Reread verse 19. Why is there “no remedy” for the city’s injuries? Overall, what are your thoughts about the readings these past three days from this short prophetic book? What stands out in your mind?

Pray

Loving and gracious God, look upon all who live this day under the threat of terror and oppression. Heal divisions among us; open my eyes to inequality, and help me to strive for justice and peace. Amen.
